Karnataka High Court Warns ED Officers May Face Consequences if Gameskraft Arrests Found Illegal

The Karnataka High Court asked the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) to justify the arrest of Gameskraft founders Deepak Singh, Prithvi Raj Singh, and Vikas Taneja in a money laundering case.

Justice M.G.S. Kamal directed the ED to place on record its “reasons to believe” and the material relied upon for making the arrests.

The Court observed that enforcement authorities cannot exercise arrest powers casually and warned that officers could face imprisonment if arrests are found to be wrongful.

The founders have challenged the legality of their arrest and remand before the High Court.
